Provenance

FRANÇAIS CI-DESSOUS

On a Saturday afternoon in 1992, while chatting with a woman he had just met in a pub, construction worker Chris Howarth watched the room fill with swirling mist. A staircase appeared, and the woman's deceased son walked down it and said: "Tell my mum to stop crying!" When the fog cleared, Chris heard a voice repeating in his head: "Harrogate Spiritualist Church." He put down his pint and left to find it. His life as a Spiritualist medium had begun.

At Harrogate Spiritualist Church, Chris met visiting medium Sandy Sinclair, whose description of her séance room fascinated him. She became his mentor. In 1994, he joined Robin Foy's Noah's Ark Society — an English group formed to save physical mediumship from extinction — and soon began demonstrating as a physical medium himself.


FRANÇAIS

Un samedi après-midi en 1992, alors qu'il discutait avec une femme qu'il venait de rencontrer dans un pub, le ouvrier Chris Howarth vit la pièce se remplir d'une brume tourbillonnante. Un escalier apparut, et le fils décédé de la femme en descendit en disant : « Dis à ma maman d'arrêter de pleurer ! » Quand le brouillard se dissipa, Chris entendit une voix se répéter dans sa tête : « Harrogate Spiritualist Church. » Il posa sa bière et partit immédiatement la trouver. Sa vie de médium spirite venait de commencer.

À la Harrogate Spiritualist Church, Chris rencontra une médium invitée, Sandy Sinclair, dont la description de sa salle de séances le fascina. Elle devint sa mentore. En 1994, il rejoignit la Noah's Ark Society de Robin Foy — un groupe anglais fondé pour sauver la médiumnité physique de l'extinction — et commença bientôt à se produire lui-même comme médium physique.
